Need Help Finding MBA in Healthcare Admin/Management

[reeko0830]

Based on the original post, it doesn’t sound like you are terribly price sensitive. I think if I were in your shoes, I would just pick a school that uses Respondus or a lockdown browser but no live proctoring and, if the Chromebook won’t cut it, buy a $300 laptop with windows on it.

Southern Indiana or Illinois Springfield seem like they would tick most of the boxes for you.  Pittsburg State would tick the same boxes and cost 4 grand less.  Plenty of others would do for you.

Picking an inferior or more expensive program because you don’t have a Windows or Mac computer at this time seems, shall we say, short sighted.

Not sure if you are interested in economics and analytics, but the West Georgia MS in Applied Business Analytics doesn’t appear to have proctoring and offers a Healthcare Analytics Track. AACSB accredited, and very cheap.

Thanks freeloader.  I think I may just go with Illinios Springfield as it is a local University to me, U of I is well regarded and it is a part of their system.  I will reach back out to Pitt State but I think I may just go for U of I at this point.  I appreciate the help

I personally did not enjoy WGU. I HATED the proctored exams. I had trouble with them most of the time. I also didn't like having a professor I could get help from. They have course instructors who don't grade your work. The evaluators do the grading and you have zero contact with them. If one dislikes something you submit, you can't ask them for more info. I rarely had feedback on what was missing so it made things difficult.

You said that WGU isn't well regarded in your field. If that's the case, I wouldn't bother with them.

Do you have to be in an AACSB or ACBSP program?

Purdue Global aka PUG isn't really 60 credits like you're thinking. They're on the quarter system credit instead of semester like most schools.

Thank you for your explanations and your experience with WGU. Let me relook at the Purdue Global programs.
